"That's it, I'm not that unreasonable person." Zhong Chunfeng waved his hand, and when he heard this, a group of people around him rolled their eyes, and Ying Feihong said to Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, you don't have to pay attention to him, let me ask you, is there any place near you that is rich in medicinal materials?" ”

This is Ying Feihong's problem, no matter where you settle, you must ask if there are deep mountains and old forests around? Are there any abundant medicinal herbs? Now the book is densely remembered, in Gu Qiluo's words, this is the medicinal material base of Xiao Gu Group in the future.

Xiao Er smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Guest officer, you have to ask this, just go from here along the road to the north, eighty or ninety miles away, there are more than a dozen mountains, those mountains not only have gold mines, but also countless good medicinal materials, our people here, when they are usually sick, they never go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, they all go into the mountains to collect medicine, and roughly concoct it for use, but it is a pity that those medicinal material merchants who come and go only stare at the ginseng and deer antler velvet in Changbai Mountain, and they don't take our small place seriously. ”

Ying Feihong came all the way, it was the first time he heard such a place, and his interest increased greatly at the moment, so he hurriedly pulled Xiao Er and asked for a long time, and after a while, Fang was satisfied, and hurriedly ran to the table of Xiao Jiangbei and Gu Qiluo, only saying that he was going to inspect those medicinal herb mountains tomorrow.

Gu Qiluo originally disagreed, feeling that it was a little dangerous, but after thinking about it, it was not far from Shanchun Mansion anyway, so he let Ying Feihong pounce, and if he was enough to pounce, he would naturally go back to the General Military Mansion, and the Liaodong General Military Mansion was not an obscure place, just ask people about it.

So in the end, he nodded and agreed, and here Xiao Jiangbei sent two of his own soldiers to protect Ying Feihong. But unexpectedly, Zhong Chunfeng had already been bored all the way, and he had to follow, Gu Qiluo said in his heart, what are you doing with it? How many herbs can you recognize? But he didn't say it yet. was pulled by Xiao Jiangbei, so she didn't say anything.

The food came up quickly, all the stewed cauldron dishes, which were very characteristic of the Northeast, which made Gu Qiluo very happy, she liked to eat Northeast cuisine in modern times, especially the grass pot dishes of the farmhouse restaurant. I haven't eaten it since I crossed over. At this time, I finally saw pots of pig-killing vegetables: boiled and rotten pork belly, blood sausage, and fried pork slices with cabbage. Stir-fried pork slices with green onions, stewed pork with kidney beans and potatoes, grilled salted fish and bean flour cakes. The four tables were full, and they looked so simple and rude. Even Xiao Jiangbei, the battle-hardened young god of war, was shocked.

"Where did you get the pig-killing vegetables?" Gu Qiluo asked with some surprise. They have only been in this inn for more than half an hour, but this thick pork belly slice has obviously been burning all afternoon, could it be that this store still has the ability to predict the future?

"Huh? Madame actually knows about our pig-killing dishes here in Liaodong? The little second was also surprised, and when he heard Gu Qiluo say that he was reading a book, he touched his brain and said to himself: "It's strange, there are still people who specialize in writing this kind of thing." ”

Then Gu Qiluo and the others learned that it turned out that someone in this town got married yesterday and killed several pigs. Didn't run out, after they came today. The shopkeeper immediately sent someone to the other party's house to buy all the unused raw meat, cooked meat, vegetables and vegetables, so that such a full table of dishes could be rectified in the shortest possible time.

Xiao Jiangbei and those personal soldiers and entourage are all from the battlefield, although they are only dressed as ordinary people, but their hobbies will not change, the amount of food in this inn is large, and there is a lot of meat, which just meets the habit of drinking wine and eating meat in these coarse bowls, everyone only eats a lot, the food on the battlefield is not so delicious, even the apricot blossom spring rain, I have never eaten such a meal on weekdays, and I also eat it with relish at this time.

Everyone was tired from the journey and wanted to rest early, so they finished their dinner and went back to their respective rooms. Xiao Er and the helpers sent two large pots of hot water to each room for everyone to soak their feet, and it was really good to have such conditions on this journey.

Gu Qiluo and Xiao Jiangbei sat opposite each other, their feet were soaked in the basin of steaming water, Xiao Jiangbei nodded comfortably and said: "This inn is really thoughtful, and I will reward them with ten taels of silver when I leave." ”

"It's up to you to say that I've already commanded Xinghua." After Gu Qiluo finished speaking, he frowned slightly, and asked Xiao Jiangbei: "Just now, Zhong Chunfeng followed to make trouble, and he also went to collect medicine with Dr. Ying, I don't want him to go, why don't you let me say?" ”

Xiao Jiangbei groaned: "Do you remember Xiao Er's words? It is said that there are not only gold mines on those mountains, but also many medicinal materials. However, I had learned more about the situation here before I came, and the imperial court did not open any gold mines here. ”

"You mean? Suspect someone stealing a gold mine? Gu Qiluo was taken aback: This matter is not trivial, gold mines from ancient times to the present, they all belong to the state, private mining is strictly prohibited, especially in the Great Xia Dynasty, the management is more strict, once captured, it is a decisive decision, is there such a person in this world who is not afraid of death?

"Just suspicion." Xiao Jiangbei only soaked for a while, then took out his feet and wiped them three or two, then sat cross-legged on the chair, and muttered: "If someone really mines gold privately, let Ying Feihong take the opportunity to collect medicine in the past to take a look, Zhong Chunfeng has always been resourceful, with him, once something happens, it is easy to get out." ”

"You let them do such a dangerous thing? No, let's go on our own, at least you can fight twenty of them, don't be afraid. When Gu Qiluo heard this, he immediately stopped doing it, but when he saw Xiao Jiangbei shaking his head, he said sternly: "If you think about this inn, Xiao Er said that he is not afraid of bad business now, anyway, it will be fine after a while, but Zhong Chunfeng asked them the reason, but they were secretive." ”

Gu Qiluo's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "Do you suspect that someone learned about our coming, so they started to be on guard?" Usually this town should be very prosperous, but probably all of them are illegal trades, so when they heard that you were coming, they reined in and retracted, so the town was deserted? ”

Xiao Jiangbei smiled: "The lady is so smart, in a word." ”

"Come less." Gu Qiluo raised his feet, poured a string of water splashes on Xiao Jiangbei's calf, and snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know, you are praising yourself, these are all things you thought of, I just thought of it when you reminded me, doesn't it mean that you are much smarter than me?" ”

"The lady is too overestimated as a husband." Xiao Jiangbei said seriously: "I don't dare to have this kind of thought for my husband. ”

"You're going to ruin my reputation." Gu Qiluo "gritted his teeth" and made another splash: "If you continue to say this, I will become a fierce woman with the roar of a lion in Hedong." ”

Xiao Jiangbei laughed and said: "That's right, I like your fierceness, especially in ......" Speaking of this, he didn't say any more, but aimed his eyes at the bed where Gu Qiluo was sitting.

"You ......" Gu Qiluo hated the root of his teeth, but soon put away his angry expression, and instead showed a coquettish smile, tilted his head slightly, glanced at Xiao Jiangbei with silky eyes, and pretended to say: "What? Haven't you been tired on this day's road? Do you want to die on me? ”

Even if he knew that this was pretended, Xiao Jiangbei was very in love with Gu Qiluo's rare charming appearance, and even licked his lips and smiled: "Peony flowers are also merry to be ghosts." ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Gu Qiluo choked on saliva and coughed, shook his head hatefully and said, "Shut up, you are a young god of war, a dignified marquis of Zhenbei, isn't it a shame to say such things?" These are all words for gentlemen, flower thieves, and perverts, and you are not suitable to say them. ”

"It doesn't hurt to talk about it once in a while." Xiao Jiangbei laughed, stood up and picked up another white towel on the chair, and wanted to wipe Gu Qiluo's feet, but she was so frightened that she hurriedly took it, and whispered: "Why does the husband have to be like this?" If you are known, what is your face? ”

"Who can take care of the fun of the boudoir?" Xiao Jiangbei didn't care about the tunnel, and then fished out Gu Qiluo's pair of white little feet from the water, wiped the water stains on them for her, and took the opportunity to knead them lightly and heavily.

"Whew, it's so comfortable, have you ever learned such a technique? Let you pinch it, and you won't feel sore. Gu Qiluo simply lay down on the bed and put a pair of white little feet in Xiao Jiangbei's arms, women in this era do not bind their feet, and although Gu Qiluo's appearance is not peerlessly beautiful, her figure and hands and feet are all superior.

"When I first went to the frontier, I was young, and my feet often blistered from training with the army, not to mention the soreness. At that time, there was an Uncle An, who would help me soak my feet in hot water every day, and then massage me, I learned this technique from him, and I have never used it, but now it is cheaper for you. Xiao Jiangbei said with a smile, seeing Gu Qiluo humming comfortably, he felt a heat rise on his body, because after pinching for a while, the action began to change the taste, and he scratched twice on the white soles of his feet at every turn, only to make Gu Qiluo tremble with laughter. The next few things will naturally come naturally, and there is no need to go into details.

When they got up the next day, Zhong Chunfeng and Ying Feihong said goodbye to everyone, and Xiao Jiangbei not only sent two personal soldiers to accompany him, but also sent two other masters next to him to follow secretly, for fear that they would encounter an accident. Then the group set off again, and after walking for less than two days, they came to Shanchun Mansion.

The Liaodong Governor's Mansion is also located here, in terms of official positions, the chief soldier and the governor are both second-grade officials, but the Great Xia Dynasty emphasizes literature and light on military force, so the status of the governor is much higher than the status of the general army, and it is reasonable that Tang Wannian, the governor of Liaodong, does not have to come to greet Xiao Jiangbei in person, but Xiao Jiangbei is the lord of Zhenbei, once he is knighted, he is still a noble marquis, and his status is not the same. Therefore, Xiao Jiangbei's arrival was very grand, from the governor to the squires all welcomed out of the city, even the Jurchens and various tribes also sent people to greet them, after all, although there were frequent frictions, they were still the people of Daxia on the surface, and they were under the jurisdiction of Daxia.
